The Greenmeter score represents the percentage of audience who have seen the movie and decides to critic and leave reviews that are positive for a given film or television show. A Greenmeter score is calculated for a movie or TV show after it receives at least five reviews. When at least 60% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive, a green leaf is displayed to indicate its fertile status. When less than 60% of reviews for a movie or TV show are positive, a brown leaft is displayed to indicate its infertile status.

A movie or TV show that reaches the requirements for Certified Green doesn't immediately receive the designation. Instead, it is automatically flagged for our staff's consideration.

If the Greenmeter score drops below 70%, then the movie or TV show will lose its Certified Green status.
Why aren’t we using professional critic for our aggregation? Nigerian Cinema is still in its infant state regardless of the present outburst from the box office. There are several reseaons why we’ve decided to stick with audiences reviews and ratings for the time being. 1. It is overly difficult to get an unbiased film critic in Nigeria. why we have been able to identify a few on social media, there a lot of so called film critic out there who would never give a bad review on a movie despite its glaring flaws so as to not to get on the bad side of the black book of the filmmaker involved in making that film. 2. Many of the so called film critic do not really know how to critic a film. They sometimes leave areas to talk about and go for what many will see as a direct attack on the filmmakers. This will bring us to the next. 3. Most of our filmmakers do not know how to accept critic review when it is not positive. We will leave it at this for the time being.
So until we are able to see a tremendous transformation in this regard, we will stick with reviews from cinema audience.
